I get emotional watching this, lost my health and couldn't train anymore in my 20's and 30's, thought i was going to make my life out of parkour. Did nutrition instead.. I was malnourished the whole time.. PKTO, Pk.Sage, back in the day.
This brings back memories. When you guys first released this video, I was a sophomore in highschool and I wrote an essay about parkour and referenced your documentary! There were almost no written or recorded sources of parkour at the time as it wasn't officially recognized by the public. I had to convince my teacher to allow me to site a RU-vid video for an essay because this was the #1 best source for Parkour back then!
On 18:00, that jump over a buddy is a classic traditional game (children) here in the Philippines. It is called "Luksong Baka" which means in English literally "Jump over the Cow" (Lukso means Jump and Baka means Cow). I've noticed it and looks familiar haha. Inspiring video!
conditioning 4 coming 2022? in all seriousness, you videos really shaped my training. now that i coach i still find myself using exercises i first saw here. watching this again gave me a massive boost in nostalgia !
You know those videos you always liked and keep coming back to it. This is the video really meant to be here on RU-vid. I look like a bodybuilder but I was always encouraged by parkour and calisthenics athletes. But without you guys here I wouldn't ever know about the Farley's Husks. Really great video.
It's year 2021 now. parkour/ freerunning has become more fun and game than following the spirit, people are more liberated than being self disciplined. It's funny to see them training in the gym, lifting heavy weights to gain power for parkour (I'm not against that) when originally it was trained in the natural surroundings (look up "Method Naturelle" founded by George Hubert) The spirit of the old Yamakasi, David Belle is rendered into Tik Tok likes. As a 10+ years traceur, I always have a feeling that the sacred part of the OG parkour has been degraded over the years... But I think that's how human nature works, and I kinda accepted that ...
David Belle and the Yamakasi are still training and they're almost in their 50s. A lot of the "liberated" (adrenaline junkies) have fallen away due to injury.
I wrote a song called 'the path of least resistance' and would like to share it with you'all here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QfXimy_57v4.html
I stumbled on this documentary about a year after it came out. This was one of the most exciting things on youtube i'd ever seen. It still holds up twelve years on. I can't tell you how much this impacted my perception on training PK.
I've always climbed on stuff since I could crawl and walk, furniture, trees, etc. Then when I was about nine or so we lived in Illinois and had a basement with exposed pipes boards and such bathroom sink standing shower with a wall to climb over, and i had just seen disney's Tarzan, i got in so much trouble from messing up the pipes. We need to have some gyms that mimic those kinds of places!
Time forward to 2021. This video really inspired me to caliathenics and parkour will definetly complement me for this one. Really great video considering its 2006. Ps. 2000's were coolest time of our life.
thanks a lot for this documentary, really well made, precise on all topics on and around parkour, great moves, great music, great everything, with a bit of jokes too, this documentary deserves to be watched and known. and great that it's made by you, who know and practice this sport and topic directly
Just want to thank you guys for the 3 videos y'all put out. I started working out years ago and found this video like 2 months into working out. It changed my life. I got so into calisthenics. This shit will still tax TF out of me and most gym rats can't do half the shit in these videos. Real strength vs superficial muscles. Hope y'all are doing well. Love from the States!
